Tenuta Casenuove Toscano Rosso 2016
Acquired by Philippe Austruy in 2014, this domaine with 20 hectares in production has been completely re-worked. The plots in the vineyard have been carefully split into separate zones. Situated on the marine clay-schist and claylimestone slopes which are the signature terrain of the great Tuscan wines, it is already fulfilling its promise in full measure. This blend comes from selected vineyards, some from the hilltops and some from the lower slopes.

Colour

Rich garnet colour.

Bouquet

A magnificent bouquet of black and red fruits, mocha and mineral notes, with great complexity.

Flavour

The dense, concentrated palate reveals fine, firm tannins, as ripe as one could wish. The texture is velvety, with great volume right from the start and an underlying freshness which adds firmness, then stretches out into a finish which is full, tannic and voluptuous.

Pairing

Grilled rib steak, a plate of charcuterie, sautéed poultry livers.
